Pandemonium has broken loose. The Swiss have surprisingly won their first game at the World Soccer Championship against Spain, the favourite for the overall win. There is no car in the streets which doesn't blow its horn, and strangers are hugging each other at the tram stations. I have not watched the game on TV, and the Zuerich shops were pleasantly empty after 4pm, but the way home was pure chaos, and it took twice as long as usual. Although I like balls and team action, I am not much into soccer, I must admit. But it is nice to see people laugh for a change and not only worry about their money.
